Welcome to the Chair of Systems Design of ETH Zurich, Switzerland

Our research questions focus on a more fundamental understanding of the dynamics of organizations. We apply a complex system approach to investigate economic systems and social systems.

We deal with topics such as: innovation networks, ownership networks and geography, credit risk propagation, opinion dynamics and emergence of norms, trust and recommender systems.

The members of our team have all interdisciplinary scientific backgrounds, combining expertise in statistical physics, mathematics, economics and computer science. Therefore, our methods include computational modelling, empirical analysis and mechanism design.

We are located within the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics (how to find us).
